The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC)

Founded in 2010, the MTC is an independent research and technology organization (RTO) that aims to bridge the gap between industry and academia. We provide integrated manufacturing system solutions for customers large and small across sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, rail, informatics, food and drink, construction engineering, electronics, oil and gas, and defense.

With more than 700 employees at present, we help companies accelerate their manufacturing, increase quality and consistency, and lower costs in an agile environment by working together with both industry and academia. Our facilities serve as a low-risk environment for developing and demonstrating new technologies at an industrial scale, providing flexibility to our ever-expanding number of members, clients, and research partners.

In addition, our role has increased to include not only research and development (R&D) but also training, advanced manufacturing management, and factory design. The MTC is also home to the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing. Our clear vision is to inspire British manufacturing on the global stage.

The MTC is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, supported by Innovate UK.

Based on solid scientific principles, the Physics Modelling team delivers reliable, robust, and fast solutions to industry. The team’s advanced simulation capabilities include the following manufacturing applications:
